The Origins Of Qigong

Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine and has many powerful benefits. The practice of Qigong dates back to the seventeenth century b.c. According to Qi-Energy.com, "Legends of the Shang Dynasty period describe how members of the ancient Tao Tang tribes would imitate the movements of wild animals in order to dispel rheumatism caused by the cold, damp climate." These first exercises were called "dao yin", they have evolved over time to what is now known as Qigong. From the beginning, Qigong was designed to holistically improve quality of life. Qiqong is based on qi, or life energy, but what is qi?

Qi Is Energy

Qi is a fundamental concept of traditional Chinese culture. Qigong is built upon the idea that every living thing contains Qi, me, you and the Earth. Qi translates to "energy flow", "air" or "breath". This is one reason Yoga is focused on the breath and Acupuncture is used to balance energy. Through breath (Yoga) and meridian therapy (Acupuncture) there are many ways to move qi through your body and even into others. When you take a deep breath and feel relaxed, you're moving your qi!

Qi flows through the body along the path of meridians. Each culture has its own definition of energy and its pathways, but the meridians can be thought of as the body's energy bloodstream while chakras are concentrated centers of energy. As defined by the traditional Chinese system, there are twelve main meridians which correspond to the twelve principal organs. According to FindArticles.com the twelve main organs are, "the lung, large intestines, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, urinary bladder, kidney, liver, gallbladder, pericardium, and the triple warmer, which represents the entire torso region." In traditional Chinese medicine, each oragan has two functions, one function is physical (which western medicine can describe) and the other is energetic (which eastern medicine can identify). Each organ contains its own qi and uses it to perform its function and to work with other organs.
